1. At what point were you worried for Bella's safety with the thugs? Or did you have some idea that Edward would show up just in the nick of time?

I was worried at first that she would get hurt, and honestly thought that Angela at least would have gone looking for her. But, then he did show up and that made my day!

2. How did you feel about Edward's emotional reaction to the whole situation? Were you afraid of him? Were you worried for Bella?

I think he kinda overreacted a bit, but I can't see what he saw. I wasn't afraid of him... But I was kinda worried for Bella when he took her out of town. But, as soon as she said that the girls were waiting for her he took her back.

3. Were you surprised that Edward told the truth so quickly about his ability to mind read? Had you guessed that this was his secret?

I wasn't surprised, I knew there was something. But was kinda surprised that he did tell her so readily.

4. What was your personal theory as to why Edward can't hear Bella's mind the first time you read the book?

Not sure, same reason she is so clumsy?

5. Did it concern you at all that Edward keeps such a close watch over Bella? Did it seem somewhat like a stalker to you or did you just brush it off?

At first I thought it was kinda stalkerish, but then as I kept reading it was ok. She wants it like that, he is totally in love with her, I wish I had an Edward!

1. At what point were you worried for Bella's safety with the thugs? Or did you have some idea that Edward would show up just in the nick of time?

I started worrying when she realized she was walking down the wrong way. But I kinda had an idea Edward was nearby because she saw a volvo that made her think of him. At first, I actually thought it was his volvo.

I wasn't worried at all. I was just happy he showed up!!! I did think he was mad at her at first though.

3. Were you surprised that Edward told the truth so quickly about his ability to mind read? Had you guessed that this was his secret?

2. How did you feel about Edward's emotional reaction to the whole situation? Were you afraid of him? Were you worried for Bella?

1. At what point were you worried for Bella's safety with the thugs? Or did you have some idea that Edward would show up just in the nick of time?I really wasnt worried about her. Even if Edward didnt show up in just the nick of time, i think she could have punched some guy right in the jugular! lol

1. At what point were you worried for Bella's safety with the thugs? Or did you have some idea that Edward would show up just in the nick of time? i was so anxious to see what would happen! i thought they were going to catch her and i was SO relived when i saw her say something about a shiny silver volvo!!!

2. How did you feel about Edward's emotional reaction to the whole situation? Were you afraid of him? Were you worried for Bella? i personally thought it was so sweet for how much he was scared for her!

3. Were you surprised that Edward told the truth so quickly about his ability to mind read? Had you guessed that this was his secret? yes i was surprised but i guess he trusted her. i basically already knew thanks to my friends telling me all the good stuff!!! ugh.

4. What was your personal theory as to why Edward can't hear Bella's mind the first time you read the book? i thought there really WAS something wrong with her brain!5. Did it concern you at all that Edward keeps such a close watch over Bella? Did it seem somewhat like a stalker to you or did you just brush it off? i thought he was kinda stockerish but it was still sweet that he was protecting her and watching out for her!

1. At what point were you worried for Bella's safety with the thugs? Or did you have some idea that Edward would show up just in the nick of time?I was worried from the start. Nothing good comes from having thugs follow you. I had no idea that Edward would show up. It was a pleasant surprise. I think I actually cheered out loud when he showed up.

2. How did you feel about Edward's emotional reaction to the whole situation? Were you afraid of him? Were you worried for Bella?I will admit that I was freaked out by Edward’s reaction. I didn’t understand right away what was going on, and yes, I was afraid of him and worried for Bella.

3. Were you surprised that Edward told the truth so quickly about his ability to mind read? Had you guessed that this was his secret?Yes, I had kind of figured out that he could read minds at that point, and I was really surprised that he told the truth so quickly. For someone who lives a lie and his family’s livelihood depends on keeping secrets and telling lies, it shocked me that he gave it up so easily.

4. What was your personal theory as to why Edward can't hear Bella's mind the first time you read the book? I had no idea why Edward couldn’t read her mind. I thought it was a useful quirk for her, and a great plot development. If he knew what she was thinking all the time it would be too easy!

5. Did it concern you at all that Edward keeps such a close watch over Bella? Did it seem somewhat like a stalker to you or did you just brush it off?It was kind of creepy (and it got kind of creepier after reading some of Midnight Sun) at first, but once I understood why he did it, it seemed noble and sweet. Because of his intensity, though, it did come off as stalkerish, moreso later in the book.

1. At what point were you worried for Bella's safety with the thugs? Or did you have some idea that Edward would show up just in the nick of time?I was nervous for her when she realized she was being followed by 2 of the men, but I had a feeling she would be okay because she's the main character and we weren't that far into the book. I wasn't sure that Edward would swoop in and save her but I knew he was nearby because she saw a silver Volvo. I just didn't know whether she would manage to escape from the thugs herself or if he would have to step in.

2. How did you feel about Edward's emotional reaction to the whole situation? Were you afraid of him? Were you worried for Bella?No, once Edward showed up I knew Bella would be safe.

3. Were you surprised that Edward told the truth so quickly about his ability to mind read? Had you guessed that this was his secret?I had noticed that he would sometimes tell Bella what others were thinking and then try to act like he read it from their faces. I was reading so fast that I never paused to actually put the words "mind reader" together but it was sort of there in my subconscious. I wasn't too surprised because it's a lot easier to admit to that than to admit to being a vampire. Edward realized that Bella had observed too much and was determined to get some answers so this was something less important he could tell her to throw her focus off the whole vampire thing.

4. What was your personal theory as to why Edward can't hear Bella's mind the first time you read the book?I didn't have any theories about it.

5. Did it concern you at all that Edward keeps such a close watch over Bella? Did it seem somewhat like a stalker to you or did you just brush it off?It didn't feel like a stalker to me. At the time I saw it as Edward trying to observe Bella to determine what was going on in her head. I got the impression that he didn't know exactly what she was. He knew she wasn't a vampire but she said and did things that weren't like other humans either so she perplexed him. I thought there might also be a part of him trying to decide if he could trust her or not.

1. At what point were you worried for Bella's safety with the thugs? Or did you have some idea that Edward would show up just in the nick of time?

i did have some idea that Edward was going to come save her! even though i hoped i was right at the time, whenever i read this part my breathing quickened and i got all panicky and such. haha.

2. How did you feel about Edward's emotional reaction to the whole situation? Were you afraid of him? Were you worried for Bella?

i wasnt afraid of him. i figured that he would want to go back and, as he said it, hunt those monsters down. i wasnt worried for Bella or scared of Edward at all. just because how she thinks. she felt totally safe around Edward and so i guess i did too.

3. Were you surprised that Edward told the truth so quickly about his ability to mind read? Had you guessed that this was his secret?

i think i guessed that that was his gift. it really did not surprise me at all to find out he could do it.

4. What was your personal theory as to why Edward can't hear Bella's mind the first time you read the book?

mine was the same as Bella's. that she was on a different wave length than everyone else. i know i feel like that too. and i felt bad that she kinda had those suspicions confirmed.

5. Did it concern you at all that Edward keeps such a close watch over Bella? Did it seem somewhat like a stalker to you or did you just brush it off?

i didnt think too much about it actually. well Bella says many times that she is obsessed so why cant Edward be too?

Had you guessed that this was his secret?I had some idea but not entirely so Yes I was surprised, but intrigued aswell, it made him even more amazing

4. What was your personal theory as to why Edward can't hear Bella's mind the first time you read the book?Only that she felt she thought differently to everyone else she knew, that's all I could think of.

5. Did it concern you at all that Edward keeps such a close watch over Bella? Did it seem somewhat like a stalker to you or did you just brush it off?Not really stalkerish, I knew he must have a good reason, so when I found out he was protecting her I was like 'awwwww' xD
